River

My sister Katie made the recommendation for Sara McLachlan's Christmas CD, Wintersong. I took the recommendation and LOVE the music. There is especially one song that I feel really describes how I have been feeling lately. I love the words! Here they are and if you really want to experience the beauty of the song buy it! Enjoy!

River

Its coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer singing songs of joy and peace

Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
And then I am going to quit this crazy scene

Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly high
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees

Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

But I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I've ever had

Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Oh I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly high
Oh I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer singing songs of joy and peace

Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
